This book contains the tunes for all 105 dances from the first edition of Playford’s work, transposed to suitable keys for the ocarina.This book is suitable for all pendant, transverse or inline ocarinas that can play a full scale. Ocarinas with 4 holes can play roughly half of the arrangements; ocarinas with 6 or 10 holes can play most of them; and ocarinas with 12 holes can play all of the arrangements. The tunes can also be played on almost any other treble-­clef instrument, such as recorder, tin whistle or violin.
